RaveWashington Independent Review of BooksDevil in the Grove is the dramatic and deeply disturbing account of one of the least known, but most important, Jim Crow criminal cases of the 20th century ... This book provides...an indelible image of \'Lawyer Marshall\' to go along with the better known image of \'Supreme Court Justice Marshall\' ... The story is both a fascinating crime narrative and an exceedingly well-documented history ... While the Russian-novel-like narrative is filled with a bewildering array of characters and incidents, many told in difficult-to-unravel flashbacks and sidetracks, slowly working your way through the book is well worth the effort ... This terrifying and indelible account of Marshall’s battle against Jim Crow should be read by everyone interested in the history of civil rights in the United States
